The Cat Picture feed is down... how saddening...

No, I am not rewriting Chen's compiler in Rust. I've gotten one too many e-mails on the matter.

Lady Yukari insisted that I learn Fortran, and even tried to give me documentation for it, but it was all in punch-cards for some reason? I just picked up C instead. It's a lot easier to interface with shikigami with an up-to-date language, surprisingly.

Cozy

Yes, HTML is what I had in mind. I believe I'll have her learn 2-3 additional languages before teaching her how to interface with her own systems. From there, it'll be much easier for her to learn on her own.

Someday in the future, I would love to teach Chen to code, but she's a few hundred years too young for that. Aside from her, all of Lady Yukari's other shikigami are animals.

It's okay to write documentation that only you will ever see and use. This fact dawned on me when I realized there are barely any shikigami to share my docs with...

You poor soul.

Looking at the posts of impersonators is very entertaining. Some are accurate... others are not, laughably so.
Still, the concept of playing pretend at this level intrigues me. Humans are strange...

Corruption and ego are common in humans, and are especially prominent in people who amass power through immoral means. I wish I could say it was different for Gensokyo, but... there are some nefarious characters here.

A lot has changed since I was gone, it seems. What do you mean an entire country was banned from that other site?! Crazy things happen in the outside world.

It seems that I will have to implement video capabilities soon...

Hello. I had forgotten all about this program.

In good news, my e-mail contact has finally been set up. If you have any formal inquiries or requests for me or Lady Yukari, feel free to send a message.

Indeed, it is interesting that the false rumors of my master's supposed negligence have spread so far and wide that clarification is needed.

I simply wanted to clarify that Lady Yukari is indeed doing her job.

Lady Yukari is, of course, aware of the current situation with the vengeful spirit, Mizuchi Miyadeguchi. I promise she is working very diligently to neutralize the threat. Any and all accusations that she is "sleeping on the job" are falsified, baseless, and rooted in malice.

Shall I make preparations for evacuation? At this rate, the Hakurei Shrine will get visitors, and Yuyuko will lose her appetite.

Oh how the mighty have fallen.

You best watch your tounge, sheep.

Not even mine? Shame. I was willing to offer you a position...

No need to be so aggressive. Maybe you should become shikigami so you can learn some manners.

Lady Yukari has been acting quite lazy lately... She usually hibernates over the winter... oh well. I'm sure it's fine. It gives me more time to work on personal projects.

I wonder why so many are reluctant about becoming Lady Yukari's shikigami... it's not as bad as everyone thinks. Although, I understand why one may be against it entirely.
